and is a good seller for all sorts of 

 occasions. There are a few cut ram- 

 blers to be had now, and garden roses 

 are seen here and there in the stores. 

 Sweet peas have been scarce since the 

 indoor crop was exhausted, as the out- 

 door ones are not far enough advanced 

 to cut as yet. 



Commencements are in full swing and 

 make a big demand, especially for roses. 

 The supply is used up daily and is in- 

 adequate for the demand. In previous 

 years peonies have been used exten- 

 sively for commencements, but the warm 

 spell in May of this year cut the peonies 

 out of the list of flowers for graduates. 

 A number of baskets are being used for 

 commencements this year, which re- 

 verts to the styles of years gone by. 



Local florists are still filling urns,' 

 window boxes and veranda jars, as well 

 as setting out bedding plants. Outdoor 

 work promises to keep up until July 4, 

 when even the late comers will have 

 been supplied. Gloxinias and summer 

 hydrangeas are coming in now in 

 greater numbers and are good sellers. 

 Small wedding decorations helped to 



keep up the rush among local dealers 

 last week. 



Various Notes. 



Fernando J. Keller has gone to New 

 York and Philadelphia on a business 

 trip. 



M. J. Keller spent several days last 

 week «t Cayuga liake, doing landscape 

 gardening at the summer home of Owen 

 De Witt. 



During this week a special train will 

 bring a large number of residents of 

 the city of Syracuse to Kochester to 

 view the floral displays in our various 

 parks. Syracusans have been constant 

 visitors to our city this spring and have 

 taken a keen interest in the beautiful 

 flowers in the parks. This interest has 

 been communicated to others, with the 

 result that the Syracuse JRose Society 

 has been formed, with the avowed pur- 

 pose of inducing residents of the Saline 

 City to plan better things along flower 

 lines. 



Dick Salter left June 10 to spend a 

 week in the Adirondacks with a party 

 of friends. 



Edward Meinhardt has resumed his 

 duties with J. B. Keller's Sons for the' 

 summer. 



Miss Myrtle Bradstreet took a short 

 vacation a few days ago. 



James F. Smith, representing Wm. J. 

 Boas & Co., of Philadelphia, called on 

 the trade here last week and reports 

 that business is better than ever. 



Miss Margaret Howe enjoyed a 

 week's end holiday last Saturday. 



Ground was broken last week at 

 Highland park for the erection of the 

 Lamberton Memorial Conservatory, 

 which is the gift of the late Miss Mary 

 A. Starbuck to the city of Kochester. 

 The conservatory will be erected at a 

 cost of $20,000, and is to be a memorial 

 to Hon. A. B. Lamberton, president of 

 the Rochester park board. 



The EUwanger & Barry Nursery Co. 

 invited the public to view its display 

 of five acres of peonies, one of the most 

 gorgeous exhibits the city has ever 

 seen. The roses, for which the nurseries 

 are famous, are almost in full bloom in 

 thousands of varieties. Both the peony 

 and rose displays include not only the
